So my local velodrome is in the process of getting a new track and I managed to get a hold of some pieces of the old one. The good pieces with the black, red an blue lines were already taken, but i did manage to take home a piece of the Six Day Series advertisement that was painted on the upper part corner 2. Coincidentally the place where most of my pics are taken. I also got a large piece of the grey area (4 feet square approx.).
Now I lack of imagination, so the only thig to do with it is make a bench or small table. Someone else came up with the nice idea of a rack to hang your helmet and other (bike) stuff. But maybe the folks on here can think of something more brilliant? Wood be much appreciated cough.
Being a former outdoor track, I would guess that outdoor furniture is a possibility. Supposedly the type of wood is iroko, of which wikipedia says that it's very durable and is very good for using outdoors, but blunts tools easily and fucks up your airways if you machine it. So what could possibly go wrong? It weighs a ton btw. All suggestions are welcome!
Edit: good news, the wood type is actually afzelia, which is a bit less harsh and doesn't necessarily cause asthma. Also a bit less water resistant though, but that should be okay.

Indeed, love it when relatively unknown goalies can excel on a grand stage.
Spain though with no Real players, almost makes me wish they take home the cup. Luis Enrique is also kind of an old hero of mine, as he was a standard buy in the old 90s CM times as he was the most versatile player you could get. -
I'm not with you on the memes not educating anyone. I've learned quite a bit from them. Mostly about popular culture that I'm too old for to be aware of, but sometimes actually contemporary things going on in the world of importance that I've somehow completely missed, or just interesting facts. The argument going on about Jeanne d'Arc illustrates the educational value I think. Of course not everyone will look into the backgrounds of a simple picture with some words on them, but some souls are hard to reach/educate in the first place.

So bling only, I got you and you are completely right, especially considering that flaming bling gold/red/orange paint job on the bling high end frame :)
Great pics man! Still think the victory chrono rims might be cool since they're kinda gold. But the roval hubs are so cool and exotic that that should be the basis of your rims of choice. -
I would. And probably crash it.
